Validation Rules
- Must be numeric or percentage.
- If unitless number provided, interpret as pixels.
- Reject non-numeric strings except percentage format (e.g., "10%").
- Error codes:
- 400: invalid format
- 422: out of range
Why the "Top" Parameter Matters
If the top value is set too low:
- Accented characters (À, È, Ñ) will be clipped (cut off at the top).
- Uppercase letters might look squashed or missing their ascenders.
If the top value is set too high:
- The font will have excessive padding above the text, breaking vertical alignment with other UI elements.
- The line height will become inconsistent, pushing buttons and labels out of alignment.
Key Parameters for Font Configuration
